Comets have tails because when they approach the Sun, the heat causes their icy nuclei to sublimate, releasing gas and dust. This process creates a glowing coma around the nucleus and forms one or more tails that always point away from the Sun due to solar wind and radiation pressure. The tails can be made up of ionized gas (the ion tail) and dust particles (the dust tail), each forming under different conditions.

What celestial objects were once referred to as hairy stars?

Where did the 3 tails get their tails from?
They got there tails from magictail.de
Do commets contain more ice than dirt?
Yes, comets contain more ice than metals and gases.
What is the probability of obtaining exactly four tails in five flips of a coin given that at least 3 are tails?
Pr(4 tails | at least 3 tails) = Pr(4 tails and at least 3 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= Pr(4 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= (5/32) / (1/2) = 5/16.Pr(4 tails | at least 3 tails) = Pr(4 tails and at least 3 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= Pr(4 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= (5/32) / (1/2) = 5/16.Pr(4 tails | at least 3 tails) = Pr(4 tails and at least 3 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= Pr(4 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= (5/32) / (1/2) = 5/16.Pr(4 tails | at least 3 tails) = Pr(4 tails and at least 3 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= Pr(4 tails)/Pr(at least 3 tails)= (5/32) / (1/2) = 5/16.
